Stem Cell Biology

Stem Cell Biology (Short Version)

Students use active reading strategies to learn about adult and embryonic stem cells. They use simulated growth factors and stem cells to produce differentiated cells that could be used to treat diseases.

Stem Cell Biology (Extended Version)

A series of activities to introduce students to basic concepts and issues associated with stem cell biology and research. Includes surveys, slide show, models, simulated gene expression studies and cell differentiation techniques. Students also consider ethical issues related to a clinical trial to test a stem cell treatment.
